the power increase when compared to a pneumatic is very nice.
Damn Euro decimalsLabtecpower wrote:My calculation was as following:
(chamber length*(pi*r^2)=(10*(pi*1.4^2)
That makes the chamber volume 61 ml.

No worries, I have this exact same problem everytime I need to use excel in SpainLabtecpower wrote:ah, now I understand
thank you!
While I've never had a serious blowout since the mini hybrid fail, I have noticed that most of my projects over time develop small leaks between the epoxy plugs and the chamber. I would suggest going for bigger chambers as opposed to higher mixes when using this style of epoxy construction.I guess I just have to use high mixes for moah powah!

This school year i'll probably learn how to use the CNC lathe, so when school starts again, I don't think I will be using epoxy for large pieces of the structure.While I've never had a serious blowout since the mini hybrid fail, I have noticed that most of my projects over time develop small leaks between the epoxy plugs and the chamber.

My 3/4" hybrid was certainly very powerful even at "low" mixes like 9x, at that bore 12 gauge sabots fit perfectly (thought really with lathe access you can easily make your own out of UHMWPE or Delrin) so you can fire pretty much anything that fits.Labtecpower wrote:a shotgun is also very appealing, and more suitable for smoothbore.

Almost exactly the same! 2 ml chamber size differenceCrna Legija wrote:OMG I started to make a hybrid it looks almost exactly like yours and is 63ml chamber, how loud is your one? at 5x. All i need to do now is get a good igniter because my spark gap is about 1mm and i don't think i can close it up.

At 5x mix it is loud enough to make your ears hurt, when not wearing protection. At 8x it was loud enough to frighten my uncle when I shot it in the garage, while he was in the living room.
If I make a shotgun, it will be one with a piston valve, I hate changing burst disks. I also want a removable stock , and changeable barrels.
Burst disks are definitely a pain in the buttocks. A piston needs to be accessible for servicing though, piston hybrids have high temperatures to add to the list of abuse which the seals have to suffer.Labtecpower wrote:If I make a shotgun, it will be one with a piston valve, I hate changing burst disks.
JSR agreesas this is a JSR-style mini hybrid, I will recommend a JSR style supressor over the whole length of the barrel
Looking at the picture, it seems your electrode is too close to the schrader outside the launcher, so no matter how strong the ignitor is the spark will still perfer to arc externally at higher mixes.Crna Legija wrote:All i need to do now is get a good igniter because my spark gap is about 1mm and i don't think i can close it up.

Labtecpower wrote:What is your chamber material? It looks like aluminium, and I don't know if you want to use thin-walled stuff at 15x mix. Don't forget it can generate 1500 psi, or 115 bar.
I don't care about a lot of noise, but as this is a JSR-style mini hybrid, I will recommend a JSR style supressor over the whole length of the barrel
peace of wire is connected to the schrader and was use to hold the valve up while I casted. It also extends the spark gap to 1/3 the way injackssmirkingrevenge wrote:Looking at the picture, it seems your electrode is too close to the schrader outside the launcher, so no matter how strong the ignitor is the spark will still perfer to arc externally at higher mixes.
His design is accesible... though I am not sure if he can raplace the sealing face / rubber washers on itpiston needs to be accessible for servicing though
I was wonderingPOLAND_SPUD wrote:uhmm or maybe that wasn't labtec who mentioned this type of valve
Ah ok, though it was the other way round and the gap was between wire and schrader.piace of wire is connected to the schrader and was use to hold the valve up while I casted. It also extends the spark gap to 1/3 the way in
